When infection becomes part of the surgical picture
Surgical cases do not always end when the procedure does. Wound complications, persistent drainage, recurrent infection, implant-associated concerns, and cases that fail to respond as expected can raise important microbiological questions.
At the 2026 ACVS Surgery Summit, the MiDOG team will be at Booth 406 discussing how next-generation sequencing can complement established diagnostic methods when veterinary teams need a broader view of the microbial DNA present in a clinical sample.
MiDOG analyzes microbial DNA directly from submitted samples rather than relying on organism growth alone. The All-in-One Test provides broad detection of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic organisms together with antimicrobial resistance information, helping veterinarians evaluate difficult-to-resolve infections alongside the patient’s history, clinical findings, sample type, and other diagnostic results.
Surgical cases worth discussing with us
Stop by the booth if you are working through cases involving non-healing wounds, recurrent or persistent infections, polymicrobial findings, culture-negative cases, or infections in which conventional testing has not provided enough information to move the case forward.
Bring a case question, review a MiDOG sample report, or talk with our team about sample collection and where NGS may fit within your diagnostic workflow.
At Booth 406
Visitors can:
- Review an example MiDOG report and see how microbial findings are presented.
- Discuss sample collection for wounds, tissue, fluids, swabs, and other clinical specimens.
- Learn how MiDOG’s NGS approach differs from culture and targeted molecular testing.
- Ask about antimicrobial resistance information included in MiDOG reporting.
- Discuss challenging cases with the MiDOG team.
MiDOG currently accepts a broad range of sample types and positions its testing for all animal species.
Have a Surgical Infection Case Worth Discussing?
Bring your questions to Charlotte. Meet the MiDOG team at Booth 406 and see how NGS can add another layer of microbial information when the clinical picture remains unresolved.
